Issue

Multiple equipment pieces (including crafted and/or dropped items) share identical stat values, making them interchangeable. Players have no reason to prefer one over another beyond acquisition cost or availability, which diminishes equipment variety and the value of crafting.

Expected Behaviour

Each equipment piece should have distinct stats that give it a clear identity and role in the player's build.

Steps to Reproduce

Open apps/api/src/data/equipment.ts
Compare stat blocks across all equipment in the same slot/category
Identify pieces with identical stats

Suggested Fix

Differentiate affected pieces by adjusting their primary or secondary stats. Consider giving each piece a unique bonus that fits its flavour or unlock context.

Priority

🟠 High — directly undermines the equipment and crafting systems
